Texting to a cellphone or GROUP of cellphones from my Kindle is a very useful communications tool for me. For that reason, I like this app very much. 2 Issues I have with it are these...

1) It requires a new telephone number which this developer provides. Depending on how this app is used, that can lead to $$. There's one chance to change the number but those choices really don't make much of a difference.

2) WHO is sending & receiving those texts may also influence charges. Keep an eye on your phone bill. Reading 'tween the lines, I wouldn't be surprised to find some data mining were going on as well.

This is a "free" app but... Read the terms of use. They're not complicated. If this app were loaded on a careless person's Kindle, I could see charges mounting rapidly. A word to the wise...

this app works great on the kindle fire. The response time between send and receive is fast. One downside is regarding the lack of notification when a text comes in. If they can fix that, this would be an awesome app.

I really just downloaded the app for my 11 year old daughter who constantly is ringing up text bills. When she found out she could text cells for free she never put it down. Now I have on my kindle fire. AWSOME!!!!!!5 STARS!!!!!! :)

Used this app to text three people. Now they are all being spammed with the same offers via text msgs. it appears this company builds a database of mobile numbers that you provide and then sells or spans them directly. My contacts are all getting the same malware and scamware text messages now at all times of day! Do not install!

theres just something really weird to me about this app being able to access all that it can access if you have a kindle fire its a little to much of a risk just buy a phone cuz i think this shots phony until proved legit......... 32 permissions? some sound necessary but then others absolutely do not sound right to me. Maybe I'm just paranoid but better safe then sorry right?

I absolutely love this app!:-) it is awesome and right on the key board thing, where the return arrow is, is a thing that looks like this, :-) and its so cool! ♣♦♠♥♪ Mwahaha! i just figured how to do that! u just hold down the sign that says • . So for the texting thing, 1.) You put in the number and 2.) you text! How to add and delet contacts was really confuzing for a while, so you just go to the contacts page and hold down their name to delet it and to add, you get a notepad, ( i have colornote or something) and type in their number. Save their number and when it turns blue, click on it, then add in their names! Hope that helped a little bit to understand what you are getting and how to use it!!!

9/20/2013 - update: 9 months after my review, someone commented that they use text+ without Facebook account. Obviously they've updated the app. Read the reviews before installing!!!... Please.I am a programmer who enjoys finding security holes.Use Text+, at your own risk. The spyware alone in this app would make me stay clear of it. It's a virus, in its own right, even for those who use it and love it.

Original review: 1/2013Why is the fact that you must a Facebook account not in the first sentence of the description??? I could find no other way to use this app. How disappointing and annoying.

Yes, if you have a Yahoo account. I just went into yahoo contacts, added mobile phone numbers and just their name and then logged out from yahoo. It transferred over without a hitch the next time I went into Kindle Fire.
